My Apple Dumpling

Lacey's newest dress, complete with lots of TWIRL! The little apron is detachable. I still need to make her some ruffle plants, a shirt to wear under for the fall, and the baby doll MUST have a matching outfit! I did most of this without a pattern - just made it up as I went. My model was a little reluctant today!

Vacation Favorites

Favorite way to spend the day: boogie boarding in the ocean, and Lacey LOVED getting splashed (in the face, no less!), the boys also loved the pool and the water park that was part of our resort.
Favorite restaurants: Hard Rock Café & Thorny’s
Favorite lodging: It was so great to have a house! Two bedrooms, three baths, big kitchen, living room and I never had to make my own bed!
Favorite vacation news: Caleb and Dylan learned how to swim! Lacey was hard to take photos of because she kept running to the water – she’s gonna be a fish next year!

Oh What Do You DO In the Summer Time...

We've had a great summer break so far. Tomorrow we head out to the beach for one last hoorah before school starts. I'm looking forward to some rest and relaxation - oh and some shopping.


Caleb earned his Bobcat Badge.



Lots of swimming with friends.
